Torrie, thought I'd provide a little feedback. Loaded the 91 octane tune yesterday and, with a quick interstate run, the butt dyno said we had made quite a difference. Today I found out that there is an AWD dyno in a nearby town. The tuning shop has a Dynocom DC-15,000X AWD chassis dyno; 3 pulls for $75. With a tank of 91 octane (no ethanol), I drove up there. They do runs in 4th starting at 2 grand. 1st run had best wheel HP of 360.7 @ 4450 RPM. Trying to accelerate faster on the next run resulted in a downshift to 3rd and aborted run. Next attempt produced best torque of 471.9 at 3200 RPM with run ending in an upshift to 5th about 5000 RPM. Last run again ended in an upshift to 5th about 5000 RPM with max HP of 354.3 @ 4250 RPM and 453.2 ft-lbs @ 4000 RPM. How do these compare to your sea level numbers? I realize comparisons between different dyno's aren't exact. They had an F-150 Ecoboost run to lay over mine. Truck also had a Cat Back, CAI, and an SCT tune. We were under only a couple HP and about 15 ft-lbs. Curves were very similar except for drop offs about 4000 RPM; car pulls much farther. I'm grinning big time. Any suggestions from your end are much appreciated. Thanks a bunch, Lucien
